Maybe we need a thread called 'Little things you dont get'?
We have this whingeing little fat slob in our group - all he does is whinge and whine all day about his pay as a contractor been too low; he cant afford to go on holidays because his wife has maxxed out credit card (still paying off XMAS 2017!!); has no time for exercise, wife doesnt put out etc..
One day we were discussing bikes, and he asked how many I have, how much ive spent..
After I tell him, his response is,' haha, you Wogs, you have your 2 or 3 houses, nice cars, holidays, hobbies.....' Told me this in a joking way, but you could tell deep down he is pissed off.
I respond by telling him that life is a juggling act - if you want something, you need to give up something else -told him I dont smoke, drink, gamble, no fancy smart phone, no foxtel, bring food from home, rarely buy coffee, i try and ride in to work to keep fit, and train every lunchtime at work gym.
'But its all too hard at my age..' is his response.
'Mate, stop complaining that you cant afford what I can afford - if you quit smoking, stop buying your f@cking toast and coffee from canteen every morning, stop foxtel, and pay off your credit card on time, you will save thousands every year'.
'OK, but you dont know how to live - youre a tight ass, you count your dollars' he responds.
Yeah whatever - I just laughed it off.
What the f@ck is wrong with people?
